Aesthetic Experience and Creativity in Interactive Art

Abstract

Interactive art, which is art that relies on the participation of a spectator and in which the spectators enter the creative process, has changed the way people relate with artworks. An experiment was conducted in a laboratory with an interactive artwork (Temporal Perspectives by Doruk Kumkuoğlu and Sadettin Bilal Savaş, 2016) to investigate whether interactivity is a factor that plays a role in the aesthetic emotions and creativity of the spectator. The results indicated a significant increase in beauty, in response to interactive art. Partial correlational network analyses were conducted to further investigate the emotional experience of the artworks in both conditions. These analyses showed differences between the conditions in the emotional response to interactive art. However, cognitive flexibility of participants did not differ between conditions. The results indicate that interactivity should be taken into account as an element that affects the perception of art.

“…Thus, we supported independent reports showing that reproductions of higher quality were enjoyed more while enjoyment of genuine art did not necessarily differ from reproductions Gr€ uner et al, 2019;Specker et al, 2021). Similarly, in other studies, participants appreciated interactive art installations in the museum to a greater degree than non-interactive installations (Savas ¸et al, 2021). Participants also experienced more flow when following an augmented reality guide than an audio guide (Chang et al, 2014).…”

Children and adolescents are in the transition stage from imaginal thinking to abstract thinking.…”

More Information, Greater Appreciation: The Correlation between Background Information and Aesthetic Judgment of Tourist Crafts

“…First, tourist craft stores should provide as much background information as possible to enhance tourists’ aesthetic judgment of their crafts, such as providing specific product names and symbolic meanings, showing documentaries, and displaying production processes and special titles. In addition, Esma [ 76 ] suggests that interactivity should be considered as a factor that affects artistic perception. The Hongyuantai Dyeing Workshop in Wuzhen, founded during the Song and Yuan dynasties, has been transformed into a tourist attraction in Wuzhen.…”
